MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - The Georgia College &
State University women's soccer team will host two elite soccer
camps and one kids day camp this summer, the sports information
office announced today, Feb. 10.

This season the Bobcats made their first trip to the National
Tournament under new head coach Juan Pablo
Favero. Georgia College finished the regular season
ranked No. 19 in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America
poll with a 13-3-4 overall record.

The nationally-recognized team plans to hold two elite soccer
camps this summer, June 12-16 and July 18-22. The camps are
designed for 14-18 year-olds and will involve advanced training.
The goal is to build on the success of last year's camp. This year
the elite camps will concentrate on technical skills, tactical
decision making and will feature a mental training component,
drawing from Favero's sports psychology background. The camp staff
will consist of college soccer coaches with the assistance of
current GCSU players.

"We want players to be challenged both technically and
physically," Favero said. "Our goal is to help them grow in their
level of play and in their knowledge of the game."

The child's soccer camp is scheduled for July 22-25. The day
camp will begin at 8 a.m. each day and will be over by noon. This
camp is designed to teach children the basics of soccer. The cost
of the day camp is $100 for a week of fun.

The cost of the elite camp is $385 for residential campers and
$250 for nonresidential campers. The residential price includes
three meals per day and the nonresidential price includes two meals
a day. To reserve your spot now, visit www.gcsucamp.com.
